Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


I wanted to breathe your name each time I exhaled out air; impregnating the atmosphere with your mystical fragrance, 


Facilitating your entity to settle; occupying all quarters of my cloistered room.


 


I wanted to sight your name each time I opened my eyes; granting it a status


of being blissfully omnipresent, 


Making me thoroughly oblivious to the tyranny of the world; the ghastly incidences unleashing themselves on the crowded street.


 


I wanted to hear your name each time sound drifted into my ears; transforming


all other noise into your splendor, 


Making your voice my song for the brilliant morning as well as my rhyme for


the freezing night.


 


I wanted to recite your name each time I opened my lips; circumventing my face


with an inevitable smile, 


Imparting rubicund color to the corners of my cheek; and an enchanting glow to


the fortress of my teeth.


 


I wanted to imprison your name each time I clenched my fists; keeping it forever locked in my embrace, 


Shielding it wholesomely from nefarious looks of the world; the lechery of savage souls existing on this globe.


 


I wanted to digest your name each time I consumed food; enabling me to keep you in proximity with my intestines, 


Eventually becoming an indispensable constituent part of my blood; circulating


rambunctiously through my veins.


 


I wanted to envisage your name each time I felt like dreaming; profoundly incorporating my mind with your mesmerizing images, 


Catapulting me to unprecedented territories of paradise; the very instant I wanted too.


 


I wanted to incarcerate your name on my tongue each time I felt thirsty; to satiate the burning chords bouncing in my throat, 


Celestially pacifying my desires; leading me to holistic pathways of spiritual healing.


 


I wanted to write your name in grandiloquent bold letters each time my fingers itched to move; accentuating it profoundly on bonded paper, 


Portraying the enlightening effect that it has; when sighted in embossed script.


 


And I wanted to remember your name with the first beams of evanescent dawn; and the last minute before shutting my eyes, 


Blessing me with loads of courage to fight the acerbic day; sleep as unperturbed as god in the ominous night.
